There are a lot of words I could use to describe how I fee during deployments, and let me tell you- “sexy” does not even make my top 100! Between the busy days and the sleepless nights it can be hard to even remember that I’m married to someone who thinks I’m HOT STUFF. But, the truth is that feeling “sexy” is really all about how we see ourselves and how we treat ourselves.

This month our community is focused on finding that spark that makes us feel So Sexy. Even during this season of separation, we can create moments that remind us of the sensual, gorgeous creatures we truly are- and even create a little *spark* with our deployed spouses too!

With the help of guest experts and the beautiful temptations you’ve found in this months box, we’ll learn to tap into the confidence that we can carry with us all the way to homecoming! I hope that everything inside this months Brave Crate makes you feel like your very own Valentine!
